Lithograph portrait of the famous race horse Mambrino in subtle shades of gray, based on the original painting by renowned British artist George Stubbs made for his patron Lord Grosvenor in 1779. It was first published as a mezzotint by John & Josiah Boydell in 1788, and this lithograph was produced in Paris in 1882. Bottom margin has extensive breeding and racing data about Mambrino in French and English. Mambrino was raced by Lord Grosvenor and was one of the most important stallions in the Grosvenor stud.
George Stubbs was the preeminent British horse artist of the 18th Century. Stubbs made extensive studies of horse anatomy, and this knowledge underlies his equine work. A prolific artist, Stubbs frequently painted the prize horses of late 18th Century England, often with their proud owners or trainers. He also depicted other animals such as lions, sometimes shown in natural settings with horses. The greatest printers of the day were engaged to render his horse pictures as prints, including his son. George Stubbs is represented in museum collections around the world, with a large number of works in the Paul Mellon Collection at the Yale Center for British Art.
Auguste Bry was a French print publisher in the mid 19th century.
